It will be alleged the 34-year-old paid a sum of money to a Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) employee in exchange for an unrestricted driver's licence.

NSW Police have confirmed Curuenavuli was issued a future court attendance notice on June 30 and is due to face Mount Druitt Local Court next week.

Police said she would be charged with corruptly giving a benefit to an agent, an offence that carries a maximum penalty of seven years in jail.

Ms Curuenavuli's lawyer said: "She is aware of the gravity of the charges she is facing. No further comment will be made at this stage given the matter is before the court."

A 27-year-old RMS worker, Faletausala Feesili Vaifale, of Emerton, pleaded guilty to three charges last year.

She was sentenced to 12 months' home detention for making a false document to influence the exercise of public duty, corruptly receiving a benefit while an agent and dealing with the proceeds of crime.

She no longer works for the department and has been disqualified from holding a civic office for seven years.

Curuenavuli is currently in Brisbane playing the role of Rachel Marron in The Bodyguard Musical, a character made famous by Whitney Houston who starred alongside Kevin Costner in the hit 1990s film.

The Fijian-born singer-turned-actress rose to fame on the reality TV show Australian Idol in 2003.
